This game is an absolute blast to play. The campaign is very well written with great, informative cinematic part between missions. Also, most importantly, the campaign is LONG! Do not expect to beat this thing in 5-6 hours like a Call of Duty game. It will easily take 10+ hours. The first night I got it, my friend and I sat down and played the campaign in split screen co-op for about 6-7 hours and only got half way through, and the later missions take longer due to their difficulty.
I'm not one of those reviewers that breaks down the game to scrutinize each part, I judge it on how much fun it is to play, and this game really is fun. The storyline is interesting, and the game play is great.
I have yet to play online though I did play some split screen competitive with some friends, and my only gripes are that though you can only have 4 people play locally, their smallest map is 8 player, and also, you can't link two PS3's and play 4 person per PS3. When linking systems, you go down to 1 person per console. So basically you need 5 consoles for 5 people but only 1 console for 4. Very lame if you ask me. Also, the damage needs to be turned down to about 20% for any real fun game play, or else everything is more or less a one hit kill.
As for the campaign, was that in co-op mode, the second player is just some random guy that is never mentioned in the storyline or cinematic parts, so he's like a ghost that appears and disappears.
However, despite my gripes, I still gave it 5/5 for both fun and overall because this game really is a ton of fun and it is overall very good.
It is one of the few games that allow split screen co-op for the main campaign (VERY disappointed that they don't have this in Resistance 2 - I have just ordered this and have yet to receive it). |

Nice balance for a first person shooter!! Really cool storyline, inmersive and nicely balanced with all the chaos form the chimera!!! At first, for all the casual gamers, the controls take time getting used to but never the less is an exponential curve and in no time its the least of your problems when surrounded by 10-15 hybrids all shooting merciless on you!!! Play the game's storyline and really enjoy!!! Call a friend and enjoy one of the strongest co-op storyline games I have ever seen (trust me, after playing from Percet Dark to James Bond to Timeslpitters to Metroid its A REAL DEAL!)
And playing online is madness, sweet, chaos and everyting else as it is enjoyable but mayhem is awesome!!! Playing with other 39 players(!!!) is just pure craziness in a very satisfying and incredible way!!! |

This game is average. There is absolutely nothing special about it. It's not worth paying $60 to play it, but it's definitely worth $10-$15! (that's the price I paid)
As you go along, killing monsters and various creatures one after another, you can't wait to get to the end of the game. You don't really enjoy playing it. It gets really monotonous and annoying with all of its dark underground tunnels. In addition, surroundings are kinda similar from one level to the next. You either fight on the streets of London (which I personally liked)or in some dark underground areas (tunnels, subway station, etc.). Sometimes, you can't see a thing in these annoying tunnels (no matter how you adjust your TV settings!) and just keep on shooting in every direction. Graphics are not horrible..they are average as well. In fact , everything about this game is just average...even the ending. I'd give it a solid C+
If you wanna kill time - this is a good way of doing it. |

"Great split-screen co-op offline campaign mode for 2 players" | 2009-09-16 |

I was looking for games to play on my PS3 with my gf. I was surprised how few are out there to do this. After a great deal of internet searching this was one of the four I found. This game was rated highest and was said to be easy so we started with this one. We both had a lot of fun.
The game is not as good as other shooters I have played. The graphics and the story were not great. It is the split-screen co-op offline campaign mode that makes the game.
The other three games (purchased but yet to be played are (in the following order):
- Army of Two (easy)
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 (hard)
- Resident Evil 5 (hard) |

| This is early PS3. Its fun to play through and has a different feel than other shooters, but its old PS3. Game makers have made many advancements on PS3 since this came out. |
